Glasgow Electors;James Ewing of Strathleven House Autograph Letter Signed to his sister Mrs Elizabeth Hyde of Bath expressing relief on his removal from Parliament. On printed address 'To the Electors of Glasgow' after losing election

réf. 14002Letter dated 'Glasgow February 9 1835'. Address by 'BELL AND BAIN PRINTERS Glasgow' and dated 'QUEEN-STREET January 15th 1835.'. Letter and address are on a foolscap 8vo bifolium with the address covering the first three pages and the letter the reverse of the second leaf which also carries the address 'Mrs Hyde 31 Henrietta Street Bath' forwarded to Kew and then 10 New Street Margate with ten postmarks and a red wax seal. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with a few nicks and short closed tears along folds. LETTER: 1p. foolscap 8vo. Addressed to 'My dear Elizabeth'. Of most interest is the concluding passage which reads: 'No man I assure you can feel less disappointment at not returning to the slavery of Parliament - On the contrary I feel the pleasures of emancipation. Not so many of my friends - and among the rest poor Deans who is nowhere and almost greeting.' The rest of the letter concerns Mrs Hyde's residence with Ewing writing that she has 'made a very cheap and from what you say a very proper change to Bath. At another season however I should have recommended Malvern. I should doubt the propriety of your letting Kew - you have given a good reason against it.' He suggests that she make 'an arrangement for getting quit of the Lease' and returns to Scotland. He has made a 'fair offer' for <Ardinterry>. ADDRESS: 3pp. foolscap 8vo in small type. The first page carries a letter from Ewing dated 'QUEEN-STREET' January 15th 1835' and signed in type 'JA. EWING.' The letter begins: 'GENTLEMEN WHEN I offered to you a renewal of my services I stood on great public principles. I declared that while I was anxious to improve - I was determined to preserve the existing institutions of the Country; that till the Reform Act had received a full experiment I would consent to no theoretic changes; that I was inviolably attached to the British Constitution and resolved to protect the rights of the Commons the privileges of the Peers and the prerogative of the Crown; and that in consistency with these views and the independent grounds on which I first had the honour to be returned I would give a fair hearing to the Ministers appointed by the King before I could condemn their measures.' It concludes: 'Gentlemen I now retire into the shade of private life. To the diversified interests of this great City I have ever afforded all the aid in my humble power - and I have now ended my public career in the last struggle to maintain its independence. All my aspirations will still be for the fulfilment of the motto to your arms "Let Glasgow flourish!" One word more with regard to my Country. In the aspect of the political horizon it is impossible not to perceive the small cloud which indicates a coming storm. I can no longer act as one of the conductors endeavouring to withdraw the lightning; but my last prayer shall be that the stroke may never descend on the venerable and beautiful fabric of the Constitution.' The other two pages are headed 'SENTIMENTS OF THE BRITISH PRESS' and carry fourteen extracts from newspapers ranging from the Glasgow Herald to the Dumfries and Galloway Courier. The final printed item at the foot of the last page is a 'STATEMENT OF THE POLL' with Ewing beaten into third place by Oswald and Dunlop. No copy of this document has been found on either COPAC or WorldCat although Glasgow has another address to the electors of Glasgow this one from 1834 not 1835 as above. Letter dated 'Glasgow February 9, 1835'. Address by 'BELL AND BAIN, PRINTERS [Glasgow]', and dated 'QUEEN-STREET, January 15th, unknown
